I'm strongly contemplating entering into the mind boggling world that is LCD TVs... And browsing this subforum makes my head explode.
So forgive me if this has been asked a million times already
I'm after something of probably 32" size (how much bigger do these appear than 28" CRTS? realistically or perceptively), costing no more than probably £800.
I've spotted the Toshiba 32WLT66 and it looks tasty, gets good reviews, etc. Is this the best bang for buck telly in terms of quality, inputs, futureproofness, etc?
What about 1080? Is this out of the question for reasonable priced LCDs as of yet? Do most downsample them to 720 lines?
Suggestions for a decent quality futureproof LCD if you please Preferably with component, HDMI and DVI inputs for HTPCage (unless DVI can be converted to HDMI?)
What do people do for centre speakers? Mine sits on top of my CRT, and ther'es no where on my cabinet for it, so I guess I'll build a "platform" out of chipboard or something and sit it on my cabinet so that it can hold the LCD and the speaker sits under?
Thanks for any help. I'll add any questions I may have missed out.
